Oddbird's Sparkling Rosé comes from the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, made from Syrah grapes using traditional winemaking before a twelve-month maturation and low-temperature dealcoholisation. Syrah is an unusual choice for a sparkling rosé, but it works well here, giving the wine some fruit substance. The pour is a pale salmon-pink with a gentle, persistent bead. On the nose, summer berries and apple come through alongside a citrus lift. The palate is light-bodied and silky, with berry and apple character underpinned by fresh acidity. The finish is clean and dry without being austere. It is a well-balanced effort, neither too sweet nor too tart. The silky texture is probably its best quality, making it easy to drink across an evening without the softness tipping into saccharine.
